Experience firsthand why farming life is rewarding, adaptive and ever-changing.
Welcome to Kraken Tours
“No two days on the farm are ever the same! Come and experience firsthand why farming life is rewarding, adaptive and ever-changing.” - Candy Maclaughlin, General Manager & Second-Generation Farmer
We invite our guests to gather at the café at 9 am — it might be a little early for some, but the farm has been going for a few hours already!
Enjoy our award-winning building, with sweeping views and the early quiet of the day before heading out to discover why Skybury is truly the source of great taste.
All our guides work on the farm and in the café. They know what it takes to make the farm run and are keen to share the stories and realities of life on the land.
In true farm style, the tour is conducted in a Troopie — built to handle farm roads and carry you across the property just as our picking teams do daily. We have a maximum capacity of 10 people per tour. Larger groups can be catered for directly with the Function Manager.
Along the way we’ll stop at the Nursery, where we discuss propagation and the technology behind tissue culture, before heading to the papaya packing shed. Built in 2024, this custom-designed facility can pack more than 200 pallets of papaya each week.
Before heading back to the cafe, we’ll stroll through the coffee and papaya plantations. for a true paddock-to-plate experience. Once back at the café, your guide will walk you through the roastery and answer any lingering questions from your Skybury Farm Tour.
Each tour varies depending on the group’s questions, the weather, and what’s happening on the farm that day. Please make sure you bring a hat and wear enclosed shoes, as we’ll be moving through active farming areas where vehicles operate.
We invite you to Taste, Tour & Take Home.
